Fluke Calibration 1523-156 Handheld Reference Thermometer, 1-Channel

Product Highlights

You need accuracy for compliance, product yields, energy savings, and consistent results. The Fluke 1523 and Fluke 1524 use current reversal, a technique used in high-end instruments that eliminates thermal EMFs, for precision temperature measurements. Specifications are guaranteed from -10C to 60C ambient. Special precision resistors and a highly stable reference voltage source keep 1523/24 accuracy virtually insensitive to environmental temperature.

Like all Fluke handheld tools, the 1523 and 1524 Reference Thermometers endure rigorous testing in temperature extremes and under harsh conditions of vibration, so you can take them anywhere you need to go.

An optional magnetic hanger allows you to hang the thermometer for easy viewing while freeing your hands to focus on the job.

See trends graphically on the 1523 and 1524 thermometers' 128x64-backlit LCD display. You can change the grap’s resolution at the touch of a button. Now it’s easy to see when the temperature is stable, without statistics or long delays, or monitor processes over time to verify correct operation.

Document on demand up to 25 readings and associated statistics for easy retrieval. You can view the data through the display or by uploading it to a PC via RS-232 connection and 9940 software, included free. To monitor and log more data over time, use a PC and optional LogWare II software.

RS-232-to-USB adapters are available for those who prefer USB connectors. Battery power lasts at least 20 hours on three AA batteries, or use the dc power adapter for extended periods of measurement. Power saving features can be enabled or disabled for longer battery life or greater convenience.

The 1523 Reference Thermometer is a versatile single-channel thermometer that measures, graphs and records three sensor types with one tool. Support for PRTs/RTDs, thermocouples, and thermistors provides flexibility to choose the right probe for the job.
